Christmas carols are a welcome part of the Christmas holidays. In days gone by, carolers would wander around town, stopping in front of homes to sing a Christmas carol. While caroling door to door may be a thing of the past, caroling while walking around town is beginning to make a comeback. Get into the holiday spirit by joining a caroling group and singing Christmas carols for the enjoyment of those around you.

Students from East Tampa will be performing on stage for the enjoyment of the community. There will also be a community sing-along and everyone is invited to bring their holiday spirit and sing some Christmas carols with the performers. In addition to the performers, there will be Tampa-area dignitaries, finger printing and a visit from Santa. This year, Santa will be passing out backpacks. Backpacks are limited and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. The festivities begin at 5 p.m. so arrive early to enjoy all of the festivities at the annual holiday tree lighting ceremony.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! It will be snowing in Temple Terrace on December 14th from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. courtesy of the City of Temple Terrace.
